The Postman API Development Environment
summary
Walks through building a reusable Postman collection against the NASA API, saving requests and responses, then creating an environment with base URL and api_key using initial/current values. Shows generating client code snippets, making a mock server from a saved example and swapping the base URL to the mock endpoint, and creating a monitor that runs on the Postman cloud with a simple status-code test. Demo records a failing run that returns 403 instead of 200, proving monitors catch regressions.
